Japan’s stock market surged on Thursday, with the Nikkei 225 jumping more than 5% and crossing the 62,000 level for the first time ever, leading a broader rally across Asia-Pacific markets. The gains were driven by strong performances in technology stocks.
U.S. stock futures were little changed early Thursday after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached fresh record highs, supported by optimism that the U.S. and Iran may be nearing a deal to end the conflict. Reports suggested both sides are close to a preliminary agreement that could end the war and open the door for broader nuclear negotiations.
Markets rallied strongly during Wednesday’s session, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all posting solid gains as easing geopolitical fears and cooling oil prices boosted investor sentiment. The S&P500 broke above 7,300 for the first time.
Investors are now watching more earnings reports and key economic data, including jobless claims, productivity figures, and consumer credit data, for further direction.
Gold prices continued to trade higher on Thursday, holding above the $4,700 level. However, investors remain cautious as markets wait for more clarity regarding a possible U.S.–Iran peace agreement. The weaker U.S. dollar and fading expectations for a more aggressive Federal Reserve continue to support gold prices.
Meanwhile, stronger-than-expected U.S. employment data showed the labor market remains resilient, increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve may keep rates higher for longer. This helped limit losses in the U.S. dollar and capped gold’s upside.
